I woke up around 12:30 and Ruberella and Eva had already left for the studio to start the first set. Since they were coming back to get me after that was done, I decided not to dawdle, so I put rollers in my hair. I had no idea what they wanted to shoot, or what I was going to be wearing. But at least my hair would be ready in case I wasn’t wearing a mask. I don’t like being unprepared and am generally well organized when I’m at a shoot. I also took advantage of them not being there and did my make-up. That way I would be ready when they arrived and wouldn’t keep anyone waiting at the studio. Once I got to the studio I saw the lovely vision of Both Ruberella and Eva dressed as nurses. They both looked really pretty :-) and I was happy to join them and dress in my really rubber nurse costume. For the first set-up we posed in the medical room. Both of them were in the role of Evil Nurse and I was the victim nurse. Why is it that I’m always the victim? :-) I want to play a villain too! You know how much I like villains! But it was still interesting to let myself be abused by these two femmes fatales. :-p hey hey! They even poured milk on my ass. It was a bit cold, but very sensual.

After the milk it was time to change for the second set-up, which was going to be a little more S&M. The set up was going to be in front of the black latex walls and we were all going to wear catsuits. (Clear for me and Eva, and red for Ruberella) I would have liked to wear a mask like them, but Paul (Who was the photographer for that day) preferred that I didn’t. The idea for this shoot was to have Eva and me worshipping Ruberella, (Wow! Not hard to accomplish :-)) who was going to “dominate” us, hey hey. Eva was then chained to the wall, and I was put into a bondage tube made of black straps, and was suspended from the ceiling. Once inside I couldn’t move, as the tube was so tight around me. I could see Eva and Rubberella through the straps, but I could move nothing but my hands. It was funny and exciting at the same time :-) I think we had a lot of fun. The energy between the three of us was really good, and the casting really suited us. I really enjoyed myself, and that concluded my week of shooting in Eva’s studio.

That night, martin and I decided to go to the get-together organized by Isabeau from the Fetish-School website. We had been supposed to go to a pub across the street from Eva’s, but we decided to suck up our courage and take the train, telling ourselves that it would be really great to put faces to the names. (Certain people who visit Fetish School also post on the Lair forum) We arrived at around 8:30 pm, and I was really surprised to see the dozen people present, Isabeau, Armadildo, Latex Mole, Belgium Marc, Shakespeare, MissFuzzyBunny, FollowmyGravity, etc, among them. It was really relaxing to take the time to rest. Since Sunday I hadn’t really had time to catch my breath, and I really appreciated being able to take it easy. Thank you Isabeau for inviting me :)

Saturday the 2nd
SKIN TWO EXPO & TORTURE GARDEN

Today was one of the days I was most looking forward to: The Skin Two expo. Finally, I would be able to shop! In Montreal there are a few fetish stores, but their latex clothing is mostly from Polymorphe. In Montreal there are a few fetish stores, but their latex clothing is mostly from Polymorphe. In London however, I can do business with different companies, and discover some new ones. Eva, Rubberella, Eden and I arrived at the expo in a taxi, all 4 of us in uniforms from Inner Sanctum. (It was Eva’s idea, and I was wearing the same outfit that I had on my day of shooting with Eva) At the expo there were all sorts of companies like House of Harlot, Libidex, Pretty Pervy, Atsuko Kudo, and more. But other than latex companies there were also shoe stores like Alternative Footwear, where I bought 3 pairs of fetish shoes, (One black with pink hearts, one pink and white, and one black with a witch style square heel) and also Fantasy Shoes. Where I bought 4 pairs of rubber boots, two of which are thing-high (One black and red, and the other black with laces in the front) and two knee-high pairs. It’s the first time that I buy rubber boots; it took me long enough, no?? :-) Hurray!! Since I was signing autographs at the Skin Two booth because I was on the cover, I didn’t have much time left to shop for latex. But Sunday I will come back and take my time a bit more :-)

That night was the Torture Garden event. For the occasion I wore my black and white maid’s outfit from Inner Sanctum with black gartered stockings, and really high heels: maybe a bit too high I must say! I danced so much that night that Martin had to carry me to the taxi because I couldn’t walk anymore. (You should see the blisters on my feet, Ai caramba!) But the music was excellent and I couldn’t stop myself from dancing. At the club there were two rooms: one was more techno-rave, and the other a bit more oldies. I preferred to dance in the techno room. :-) There were a lot of people on the dance floor, but also all over the club. You see, all the TG tickets were sold this year! It looks as though the TG even is getting more popular… I can’t tell you how many people were there, but let’s say at least a few hundred. I didn’t notice any really stand-out costumes, but that could be because I was dancing the whole time :-) We could see latex and rubber, but also leather, and various corsets. There was no particular theme, but you absolutely had to be dressed fetish, and I can tell you the crew was strict; no way could you get in with a cotton shirt and leather pants! On one hand it’s kind of harsh, but on the other, there were no people in jeans in the club. (Unlike in Montreal on fetish nights! Tsk!) Anyhow, I really enjoyed myself, more so than the TG nights in the last two years. I recommend their event, and remember to buy your tickets early online :-) (Isn’t that right MissFuzzyBunny?? Hey hey)

Sunday the 3rd
BACK TO THE EXPO and FETISH-SCHOOL GT

Well, today I was pretty exhausted, not to mention that my poor little feet were all sore (Poor me! Hey hey.) But I gave myself a good kick in the ass, got dressed, and headed out for the train to London. I wanted to go back to the expo to do some more shopping, this time for latex. I told myself I’d regret it if I didn’t go, and besides, there was the get-together that night. (Everyone was meeting up at the expo at the end of the day) Martin and I arrived at the expo pretty late, because we had slept in, (Too much partying, and the bags under our eyes were down to our navels!) but it was REALLY a good thing we went back. At the end of Sunday afternoon, a lot of stores cut their prices on clothing by 50%! We started by going to the Torture Garden shop, where I tried on a bunch of outfits. We ended up choosing a short and contouring red and black nurse’s dress, (With hat and mask) a black and pink outfit (Sleeveless top with a scarf at the neck, short skirt, gloves) a pink beret, (Yes I’m crazy for pink lately, I know :-)) an aviator cap, and a red and black uniform style dress. I really like the costumes from TG and I hope to be able to buy some regularly.

Next, since there wasn’t much time left and I wanted to shop for corsets, we went to see the renown shop Dark Garden, where I tried on many corsets, but none of them fit me perfectly so I had to have them tailor-made. The corsets will be 22” on the chest, and 20” at the waist. I ordered two of the same corset (One black, one red) in a type of PVC, and one made of fabric that is a red-purple with beige flowers. I will probably get them by the end of the month, and I think when I get home I will email them and ask them to make them 19” instead. (The 20” was already at tightened to the maximum, and I want one where I can eventually tighten it even more, hey, hey) I can’t wait to get them!

Finally, it was almost 7 pm, when the stores would be closing, but I had just enough time to stop at Libidex where everything that was left was 50% off. So, I took advantage and bought a black g-string with grey stripes, a black skirt, and a pink skirt. It’s crazy how hyper and excited I get when latex is on sale! And I was happy to leave the expo with my hands full and not empty :-)

After the expo, Martin and I went to a pub on the corner for the lair get-together. I was pretty surprised to see how many people there were! Isabeau and Armadildo, MissFuzzyBunny, the Double Dutch couple, Belgium Marc, 3XL, MC and his girlfriend, etc… We had just enough time for a drink before we all decided to go for a pizza at a nearby restaurant. (And to have another drink :-) ) I was really happy to meet people, some of whom I only knew their names from the site. It was a really good time for me to kick back and relax, as all week had been pretty organized and very busy. Thank you all for being there, I had a great time!!

We left the restaurant at about 10:30, which was perfect for us to catch the last train to the suburbs. When we got to Eva’s, Martin stayed in the living room to play board games with everyone, but I was exhausted! It’s like I don’t seem to be able to catch up on the sleep I lost, but I keep telling myself I will when I get back home. Also, I couldn’t go to bed too late, since I had to get up pretty early the next day. I had to leave the house with Eva at 11 am to go to the Hammersmith palace (Where the ball is) to do rehearsals for tomorrow night’s fashion show…
